Buying Tips

Up the fun factor at your next get-together with a simple table tennis table.

If youíre going for serious training, choose a tennis table that meets dimensions established by the International Table Tennis Federationó9-feet by 4-feet and 30 inches tall.

For most, table tennis is just a great game for their household. Consider where you will use your table before making your purchase:

Outdoor Table Tennis: Picture it: A table tennis game at your next summer barbeque. Bring the game outside with a table designed to withstand the elements. Choose an outdoor table coated with aluminum, which prevents warping, scratching and cracking. Powder-coated steel legs provide stability.

Indoor Table Tennis: Indoor table tennis tables are generally built with a wood or composite surface, which provides quick response and bounce for intense play. Some systems fold for better storage when not in use.

Expert Advice

Where space is limited, go for a mini-table tennis table, rollaway table or a tabletop that fits over an existing billiards table.

The game canít get underway without table tennis paddles. Some players choose pre-packaged table tennis kits, which include complete paddles, or rackets, and other accessories, including table tennis balls.

Experienced players assemble their paddle from three distinct parts: A wooden handle, blade and rubber blade covering. This configuration enables players to better control the feel and performance of their paddle.

The rubber blade covering comes in varying degrees of thickness. As a general rule, thicker padding creates faster speed, but reduces control. A thinner rubber layer promotes more precise shots. Get a grip on your game: Table tennis paddles that come with a concave handle provide better feel and performance.
